Found this conversation in a game forum. Kind of interesting. Btw, HT is the acronym of the name of the game.

Excerpt :

robbieczh: "u're a retiree?
how old are u now?"

eck77: "he said retire from working full time mah... shd be still working part time or freelance la.. otherwise.. play golf or hattrick everyday?? >.<"

fairley: "There is no need to retire on the Government's pre-determined date. I retired (from working full-time) at 41, which was 10 years ago. ;p"

robbieczh: "u must be filthy rich for u to do that...
pple nowadays slog their whole life... even at age 60 still must slog..."

Chemi: "there's this email joke in the past that said something like when u retire, you are like a monkey for your grandchildren... :P"

fairley: "Personally I feel that you can retire "from full-time working" earlier if you stop chasing the 6Cs (cash, cars, condos, credit cards, country clubs and casino memberships).

When I started work in 1970s, one of Chief Engineers (US Citizen) retired after 45 years with the company. We had a huge party (grilled steaks, lamb ribs, hamburgers, soft drinks, etc) on the work-site (no liquor allowed - safety lah!) to send the guy off. He flys home to his 500-acre cattle ranch with fishing lake and huge mansion. Two weeks later, he was found dead on the front porch with a beer-in-hand. Moral is Worked 45 years and enjoy retirement for only Two Weeks. Doesn't make sense - does it?

Life (like HT) is about ensuring your "sustainable" income remains above your operating costs. Once this is achieved, then retirement (HT success) is possible. ;p"
